      A neat capture. Such a tiny spot of land for so many birds *LOL*

      Nice, Jon! In all the years I've been going to Blackwater I've neverseen such a large group of pelicans, at least within camera range.

      I just acquired a Nikkor AF 300mmm f/4 lens which I'm dying to try out at the refuge.

      Best wishes for the neww year!

      I didn't know American White Pelicans came through here. I thought we just see brown. How cool!

      According to someone at the Visitors center, last year 5 came in... And they chalked it up to Hurricanes changing their migration... But this year there's a lot more and no real Hurricanes. Weird! And very cool to see.

      This is great. Nice DOF and must be great to see in person.
